If you choose to submit scores to test-optional DACC, take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year and save the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. Because DACC’s Regular Decision deadline is May 24, a November SAT or October ACT retake should still arrive in time and can help improve a superscore where accepted.
